FORCE
3 month, 3 month, 3 month. "Turkey's National Security Council has called for the country's state of emergency to be extended for another three months" I feel morally and politically dead inside for a while now. The feeling that everything is damage and past the point of saving. The feeling that there is no point of any activism. The feeling that there's nothing i can do except maybe hit the share button or write some emotional post. While most people i know are living inside modern capitalist conformist bubbles. This feeling of pointlessness is making me want to disappear feeling shame and inadequacy. And the worst part is after a certain amount of time everything gets back to "normal" and we go back to our day jobs and go back to feeling ok.. I hope we find a way to break out of this simulation or whatever this is.
